Conflict of interests (February 28, 1919)
  • I noticed too, but don't mind. The general idea is "this really grinds my gears" and that includes things people not making their mind up at a restaurant or chit chatting instead of getting out of the way for customers, etc. To be fair, those would be memes in modern era, too.

    The fact that animal abuse peeves the author is indeed based for 1919, though.

  • JD Vance couch memes and the Associated Press fact check, explained
  • I got a glance at Reddit and it was like 70% of the political memes and unlike here, the fact checkers were buried in the comments.

    Didn't get me wrong, I love the meme and will continue to use it but I don't want people to get the idea it's not satire. We don't want a new Birds Aren't Real type situation where a meme gets out of hand!

  • Musk makes up some history with his child. Child comes on Twitter to fact check him.
  • Maybe, it'd have to be rooted in one of the earlier parts of the brain though, which aren't quite as good with memories. They tend to manifest as feelings and triggers though, like a phobia (at least, that's the hypothesis, you can't exactly test that by torturing babies). Which, makes sense to me, since the amygdala is pretty good to go at that age, lol.

    That's not to say it's impossible (the brain is very plastic), just that the more dedicated parts for that aren't there and your understanding of the world isn't good enough to make sense of it. In your case, you wouldn't need the latter to at least understand the feelings at the time, though. I for instance have a pretty sure memory of getting wiped out by someone in a swing in preschool, though I can't even remember visiting Disneyland in 2nd grade lol.

    I mostly only bring it up because my sister swears she has district memory at that age and I know she's having reconstructive memory bias to change her memories to better reflect her current world view. I was there, after all, and it's a pet peeve of mine ever since! Lol

  • jd vance
  • I kind of hate that he and I share the same long eyelash gene. It's not a choice to have such long, luscious and beautiful eyes!

    At least I still have fucked significantly less couches though.

  • Musk makes up some history with his child. Child comes on Twitter to fact check him.
  • I hear accounts like that, but there's a fair amount of evidence that our minds like to fill in the blanks on memories we hear about. The classic example from psych class involves experiments where they implanted memories of getting lost at age 5 in a mall. The stories were fabricated, but two alarming things stuck with me: people added details to these 'recollections' and even after being debriefed on the experiment, a sizable portion continued to believe that happened to them at 5.

    (Keep in mind, the human brain also isn't really developed enough to retain memories like that, let alone give them enough meaningful context to reflect on them in a meaningful way)

    All that's to say your memories of the space needle probably have a lot filled in from your knowledge of the place and the stories your folks told you.
